Personal Development

"Income Seldom Exceeds Personal Development." (Jim Rohn)

Personal development is the key that unlocks the door to new opportunities. Personal development is the belief that you are worth the time, effort and energy to develop yourself to become greater than you are today. It is your opportunity to attract opportunities and affect others in a positive way.

Sharpening your soft skills will enhance your personal development. What are soft skills, anyway? Simply put, soft skills are the personal attributes that allows us to effectively relate to others. These skills enhance our personal interactions and lead to greater job performance and satisfaction. Unlike hard skills, which are the technical and knowledge skill set we bring to our work, soft skills are interpersonal and can be applied in a broad array of situations. Soft skills encompass both personality traits, such as optimism, and abilities which can be practiced, such as empathy. Like all skills, soft skills can be learned. Therefore, if you are looking to land that great job, or rise withing your organization, sharpening your soft skills should be your first step to long term growth.

Communication

Communication is more than just sending a message – it is also the ability to receive messages, listen actively, and “hear” what isn’t being said. Many times we focus on learning to speak or write clearly, but this is only one component of communication – and perhaps not even the most important! For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s speaking to your friend, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look that you give when someone does something to you that you dislike, it all means something. This training will help participants understand the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them.

Learn how to become a better communicator by learning the techniques used in verbal communication, active listening, and how to read nonverbal signals in communication (e.g., body language, tone). You will also learn how your body language affects you at work and in your personal relationships.

Self Confidence / Self Esteem

Building Self Esteem is an inside job. Simply put, self-esteem is a reflection of what you think and how you feel about yourself. It is not based on your grades in school, the degrees you have earned, your relationships, your bank balance, the car you drive or your job title. Self confidence plays an important role in our everyday lives. Being confident allows us to set and reach our goals. It provides stability when we are faced with a challenge; it gives us that push that helps us overcome difficulties. Self-confidence is necessary in our personal and professional lives, as without it one would not be successful in either. It gives us the ability to stand up to face our challenges and to pick ourselves up when we fall.
